The brand that has been around for over a century is back to regain its title as the “most authentic” name in sports apparel. Russell Athletic is poised to be the frontrunner with their latest collection of sportswear called “Heritage.” The collection is full of vintage, retro and urban gear for the male sportswear connoisseur. They are showing what 115 years of greatness looks like through their clothes. The iconic R logo on the gear provides that prestige swagger to the “fresh, fly casual sports gear connoisseur.” Known for having the most comfortable cotton material in the game, Russell Athletic shows versatility in this collection, as the same cotton T-shirt and sweat shorts combo you lounge around in the house wearing can be the same outfit you can throw on when hanging out with friends or attending a party.

As innovators and trendsetters of the classic sweatshirt, Russell Athletic makes the most comfortable hoodie to own. Consisting of a burgundy, cream and white version, an all-black with olive green and white mesh option as well as their classic red and blue, the hoodies that are available to purchase are top-of-the-line gear that you won't be able to resist adding to your wardrobe. The embroidered logo on the hoodie is a real eye-catcher.

The Heritage collection is the beginning of a new Russell Athletic brand after years of being the official merchandiser for a couple of professional sports teams. During the 1970s through the 1990s, they were the official provider for the NFL. Then they became heavily involved with the Arena Football League, or AFL. They are still the official uniform creators for certain colleges, such as Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and Samford University in Alabama and now, Russell Athletic is in position to become the must-have gear for summer and fall season.
